What is a Life Coach or a Career Coach?
The purpose of life/career coaching isn’t to give advice or offer therapy. Instead of focusing on the past, coaching sessions are practical and forward-thinking.
Life coaching is always personalized, aimed at helping you identify and achieve your personal or individual goals.
The real work in getting to the next level in your career, life or education is understanding your strengths and then maximizing them to help you achieve success, happiness and balance.
Positive Changes from Life Coaching or Career Coaching
- Ability to think in new ways – offer a different perspective – help get yourself out of a rut
- Better understand your intellectual and emotional strengths
- Cultivate balance and peace in your personal life and family relationships
- Better see the connections between work, life, health and relationships
- Form better and lasting relationships with employees and/or employer
- Help to get you on the right track with a career path that really works for you – one that feels easy and provides enjoyment each and every day
Three Signs that You Need a Career Coach
1. You find yourself unhappy with your job.
You might think your job is not the right fit and you are unsure about your next move. A coach can help you evaluate whether you need to learn to approach your job in a different way or if you should make the jump into a new career.
2. You are frustrated managing your employees or creative team.
If you’ve noticed that you’re taking longer to get projects done or that your team just isn’t functioning smoothly, you may benefit from working on your management abilities.
3. You need to make better connections.
Developing relationships and being strategic about those relationships can turn your career around. A coach can help you learn how to make friends and acquaintances in the business world.
The Life and Career Coaching Process
During the coaching process, Carroll will ask a lot of questions: What’s holding you back? What approaches and strategies can you experiment with?
You will be encouraged to sort your priorities and ground your motivations. Your focus will be redirected and your perspective shifted.
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are aimed at identifying obstacles and making a plan to overcome challenges. You will be guided to address difficult questions and encouraged to make immediate positive changes.
